Out of Nowhere, Forrest Griffin Retires

Joshua Wood (Editor in Chief) — Sun, 26 May 2013 20:57:26 +0000

Before Dana White got into the post UFC 160 proceedings last night he made the startling announcement that Forrest Griffin was retiring. The original Ultimate Fighter winner and former light heavyweight champion briefly took the stage to answer questions and in typical Forrest Griffin fashion he was more comedic then informative.

Anderson Silva is arguably the best Pound 4 Pound fighter on the planet at this moment. His reign at middleweight is equivalent to what Fedor Emelianenko had accomplished in his pride days in the 2000’s. Even his few stints at light heavyweight have been impressive finishing; both wins were knockouts which totaled up to 4:24 mins inside the octagon. Even at the age of 37, there is no stopping the man they call The Spider.

The UFC 148 weigh-ins were one of, if not the most intense weigh-ins the UFC has ever had. Everyone knew the Anderson Silva / Chael Sonnen stare down was going to be insane but who knew that so many other stare downs would bring an intensity level so think you needed to cut it with a chain saw.
